Is there a bug in the powerchart props config export date/time format? When I select different formats I seem to always get a unix time format on export. Perhaps I am doing something wrong or misunderstand its actual function. ---

Mine worked just fine changing it. Just make sure you save or maybe reopen the view in designer when you make a change. ---

Thanks for the reply. I think my issue was pulling saved trend data prior to modifying the export time/date formats. It worked fine after creating a new trend and saving.
